What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
There's nothing more rewarding than seeing students start to have the confidence of knowing how to approach questions and perhaps being able to explain concepts to their own friends. In a world where there's so much emphasis on academic validation, sometimes students lack motivation as they don't see their strengths in specific areas of academics. What I enjoy most about tutoring is bringing out these strengths and having them recognise that learning is a journey, rather than a destination.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Through my own experience of learning, I have enjoyed looking at different alternatives to approach different questions. In school, we are often taught one method and we are expected to use this method, regardless if we understand it or not. However, as a tutor, I recognise that some methods may not work on everyone. Some students may be more systematic, some may have abstract thinking. My strength as a tutor is that I'm able to cater my tutoring approach to different personalities, and ensure that students are being related to based on their own strengths and weaknesses.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think the most important things I can do for a student revolve around mentorship. Being a tutor is not just about imparting information and tips to the student. It is recognising the student as a whole, looking after their mental wellbeing, and ensuring that what they're learning is being tailored to them, rather than a cookie-cut approach. A student's education journey is not defined by marks, but rather who they grow up to be as a person in the face of challenges. I hope to be a tutor who can inspire students to embrace these challenges, as well as stay true to themselves.Subjects Tutored 🎓

Keep drawing cakes with these pieces until you have exactly 'x' pieces, where 'x' is the numerator 3. Count how many whole cakes there are, and pieces left over Numerical method: 1. Consider how many times the denominator fits in the numerator (this is your whole number) 2. The remainder will be part of the fraction
